Team Ben is currently being chased by some enemies driving two Magic Four Wheels Vehicles, a.k.a. Magic Cars, to catch them. From the car's appearance, they still use the old model that utilizes the mage's magic power as fuel.
"Hah, some newbies want to challenge me with cars? You're pushing your luck too much," Ben confidently remarked.
"W-what are you going to do?" Arthur asked nervously.
"Hehe, just watch!" Ben replied with a grin.
Ben clicked a red button under the steering wheel, and suddenly the dashboard opened up, revealing many buttons inside it for activating the car's mechanisms.
"Activate Crush Gear weapons!" Ben commanded.
He clicked some buttons to activate all Crush Gear weapons. A long sharp spear appeared in the front, spikes extended from the wheels, and some spears emerged on the rear.
"W-WHA-WHAT'S THIS?" Arthur exclaimed.
"Not yet, activating shield!" Ben added.
Ben pushed a button to activate a magic shield that covered the car, which Roubaul had made, ensuring its durability.
"Crush Gear Mode activated!" Ben announced.
The girls were excited, having seen the mode but not in action. Arthur was stunned, and the enemies didn't comprehend what had happened.
"Let's crush them!" Ben declared.
""YEAH~!"" the girls cheered.
Ben controlled the car to turn around with a drift and immediately went to attack the car on the left. The driver realized Ben's intention and changed direction, and the enemies in that car started attacking Ben's car.
Ben skillfully dodged the incoming attacks. Some attacks hit them, but the shield protected their car. Ben's car was faster than theirs, so he closed in more quickly and soon reached the enemies. Ben attempted to thrust the spear into the enemy's car, but they moved to the right.
"Wrong move." Ben grinned.
They moved to the right, forgetting that the wheels were weaponized too. The enemies wanted to dodge, but they were too late. Their car got crushed by the wheel weapons and destroyed. The mages managed to jump out in time to avoid being crushed.
"One down, one more to go." Ben stated.
Ben turned his car back to attack the other car, but his car couldn't move. He pushed the gas pedal, but it remained stuck. There was no way his car would break now, so Ben checked outside the car. He saw that the wheels were covered in mud, holding the car in its place.
"Damn, I haven't calculated this." Ben muttered.
Ben didn't have a mechanism to counter something like this. Now the only way was to fight the enemies directly and defeat them. He ordered the others to stay inside and not do anything while he fought. Then, Ben activated all defensive spells in the car before getting out.
Ben exited the car and locked it to prevent anyone from getting in or out while he fought. There were six enemies now, and Ben used the A.I Chip to scan their power. The A.I Chip could estimate someone's power by reading their magic wavelength.
"You better give that rich kid to us, and we will spare your life. If you try to protect him, though, hehehe, you'll know the true meaning of regret." Mage 1 threatened.
"Stop talking and just attack me! I need to get my car out of this damn mud soon." Ben got into a stance.
"Hmph, don't regret it later, brat! You're nothing without your car, and you must've spent a lot of MPs to run your car that fast." Mage 2 mocked.
"Try it!" Ben challenged.
'A.I Chip, scan all magics that are used in this battle.' Ben commanded.
[Understood]
Mage 2 moved to attack Ben, and his friends didn't move, trusting that Mage 2 could easily defeat Ben. Mage 2 created a big red magic circle in front of him.
"Firebird!" Mage 2 cast.
Mage 2 summoned a big bird made of fire to attack Ben. Ben didn't move and let the firebird hit him. The firebird engulfed Ben, burning on his spot.
"HAHAHAHA, HE CAN'T EVEN MOVE." Mage 3 laughed.
"He must be too scared." Mage 4 smirked.
The enemy mages laughed at Ben, and Arthur also grew worried.
"W-why didn't he defend it? Is he low on MP?" Arthur questioned.
"No, it's because he doesn't need to defend." Wendy explained.
"What do you mean?" Arthur asked.
"Just watch!" Carla exclaimed.
The fire that engulfed Ben suddenly started to get smaller. They heard a sucking sound, and the fire was being sucked to the center. Ben was sucking the fire like he was drinking water. He sucked it until there was no fire left.
"Thanks for the meal." Ben grinned.
""WHAT?!"" All exclaimed.
"Fire won't work on Sun because it has fire as one of the components. Your fire spell is not that strong too. If you want to see the real fire magic, then let me show it to you." Ben explained.
Ben took a deep breath, and a magic circle appeared in front of him.
"Sun Dragon's Fire Roar!" Ben cast.
Ben spouted out a big fire attack on the enemy mages. The attack hit Mage 2 and then hit Mage 3 & 4 who stood behind him. Mage 2 was knocked out because he received the attack directly at a closer range. The other two mages were hurt but still able to fight.
"DAMN, ATTACK HIM TOGETHER!" Mage 1 commanded.
The remaining five mages moved to attack Ben together. They surrounded Ben and prepared their magic attacks. Ben covered his body with light to make his movement faster. Right when the enemies finished their spells and attacked Ben, he moved out from there.
The magic attacks hit Ben's previous location, creating a big impact. Ben himself had gotten away from that location using his light magic speed enhancement. Ben moved right beside Mage 1, whom he assumed to be their leader.
"What?" Mage 1 exclaimed.
"You should cut off my escape route first before attacking like that. Goodbye then. Sun Dragon's Light Kick!" Ben declared.
Ben kicked Mage 1 in his stomach with his right leg covered in yellow light. The light kick moved so fast that Mage 1 couldn't dodge it. The impact was significant, making Mage 1 bend like a bow. Mage 1 was flung behind at high speed and crashed to the ground many times. Then, he crashed into a boulder, but he still looked fine.
"Ugh, damn. ATTACK THE BRAT!" Mage 1 shouted.
The other four mages started attacking Ben with their spells. Now Ben didn't wait and immediately flashed to Mage 3. Ben kicked the mage's leg from behind, making him fall. Then Ben punched him with a light-covered fist in the stomach.
"GAHK!" Mage 3 groaned.
The mage spat some blood and got knocked out. Ben then flashed to Mage 4 and grabbed his head with two hands. Then, Ben kicked the mage on the face with his knee, which was still covered in light magic, knocking him out. Mage 3 & 4 had been injured before, so it was easier to defeat them.
"Three more to go." Ben stated.
"DAMN, CATCH HIM!" Mage
1 commanded.
"YES." Mage 5 replied.
Mage 5 slammed his hand to the ground, and a brown magic circle appeared. The magic circle transformed the ground into mud, moving toward Ben.
"So it's you who trapped my car." Ben observed.
Ben flashed to Mage 5 and wanted to attack him, but suddenly he couldn't move. Thin strings were holding his body and halting his moves.
"String? No, it's a web, huh?" Ben noted.
"Fufufu, it's a spider web trap that I've made to capture you." Mage 6 explained.
When Ben couldn't move, Mage 5 controlled his mud to capture Ben. Mage 5 used his mud to cover Ben's body and prevent him from moving. The mage only left Ben's head out from the mud.
"Now you can't move anywhere, brat." Mage 1, now transformed into a Werewolf, declared.
"Take Over?" Ben questioned.
"Good, you know this magic. Then you should know what I can do in this form, right?" Mage 1 taunted.
"You think I'm afraid of a werewolf? A dragon never fears anything." Ben retorted.
"Fufufu, then try this!" Mage 1 stood in front of Ben.
A magic circle appeared in front of the mage's face, and he took a deep breath. The other two mages moved back and took some distance.
"Secret Magic Art: Full Moon Howl! AAUUUU!" Mage 1 cast.
The Werewolf howled right in front of Ben, and the sound wave hit Ben directly. The magic attack was so strong that it destroyed the mud around Ben and even cracked the ground.
"GUAHK!" Ben spat some blood and fell to the ground.
"It's the end." Mage 1 declared.
